Posted about 3 weeks agoExpires on January 25, 2019

Job summary:

The digitization and availability of the vast amount of real world patient data has created significant opportunity to understand real world patients and their clinical experiences, beyond traditional research in standard clinical trials. The increasingly affordable genomic sequencing technologies also made it possible to study and treat patients based on their genetic make-up. You will join our Data Science team at Roche Innovation Center New York to mine the rich and highly curated electronic healthcare records (EHR) integrated with genetics data in our Flatiron-FMI data marts, as well as public data sources where appropriate. By applying advanced analytics, you will generate evidence from real world data that can increase our understanding of disease biology, drug resistance and/or drug response mechanisms, hence help accelerate our drug development and bring new medicine to patients. In this position, you will have the rare opportunity to apply your analytical skills in statistics, machine learning, deep learning and biological pathway analysis to cancer immunotherapy challenges, using valuable integrated patient data.
